HI ,
HERES A FEW PHOTOS OF MY LATEST EFFORT ,
A WOODEN MODEL OF A 1945 MG TC - IT IS ALL WOOD - WITH SOME USE OF COLOURED AND WHITE PAPER FOR DECALS ,GAUGES,ENGINE NUMBER , BODY ID PLATES AND RADIATOR HOSES (NO METAL OR PLASTICS) .THE MODEL IS 1/4 SCALE AND IS JUST UNDER I METRE LONG.
(THERE IS A MATCHBOX IN ONE OF THE PICS - THAT'LL GIVE AN INDICATION OF SIZE - ALSO SEE THE MIRROR IN A COUPLE OF OTHER PHOTOS - THE UNDERSIDE (ie.) CHASSIS AND SUSPENSION CAN BE SEEN IN THE REFLECTION.
WORK STARTED ON THIS MODEL IN EARLY NOVEMBER 2013 AND COMPLETED IN EARLY SEPTEMBER 2014 .
I'VE TRIED TO KEEP IT AS TRUE TO FORM AND SCALE AS POSSIBLE.
INSPIRATION TO SCRATCH BUILD THIS STARTED WITH A DRAWING BY J. STIMSON DATED 18/12/1944 FROM MORRIS MOTORS LIMITED - COWLEY - OXFORD - ENGLAND.
THIS DRAWING GAVE ME WHEEL SIZE AND OVERALL LENGTH - BUT THE FINE DETAIL OF THE SPOKE PATTERN OF THE WHEELS HAD TO BE WORKED OUT WITH THE "OLD COMPASS , RULER AND PENCIL" IT HAS THE MG TC SPOKE PATTERN IN THE WHEELS (48 SPOKES PER WHEEL).
FULL MECHANICAL DETAIL , THE STEERING BOX IS WORKING MODEL OF THE REAL THING - A DIVINCI SCREW AND MATCHING GEAR CONNECT TO THE IDLER ARM AND STEERING RODS. THE DOOR CATCHES WORK - WITH WOODEN SLIDE GEARING -
THE UNIVERSAL JOINTS ON THE TAILSHAFT FUNCTION, THE BONNET SIDES FOLD - AS IN THE FULL SIZED CAR .
BODY SHAPE WAS WORKED OUT WITH VARIOUS CARDBOARD TEMPLATES - BEFORE ANY WOOD WAS WORKED.
A MODEL OF THIS SCALE REQUIRES LARGE PIECES OF TIMBER - SO MISTAKES ARE AVOIDED AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE .
THE CARD - ONCE SHAPED AND BENT GIVES A GOOD MODEL AND GUIDE TO WORK FROM.
THE PINSTRIPING OF THE FENDERS IS ACTUALY PINE LAMINATED IN BETWEEN THE PIECES OF CEDAR - THIS GOES ALONG THE FULL LENGTH OF THE MODEL .
THE MODEL IS FINISHED WITH TRADITIONAL WOOD WAX .
I ENTERED IT IN THIS YEARS 2014 ROYAL MELBOURNE SHOW (CRAFT COMPETITION).
WHERE IT WAS AWARDED
1ST PLACE - AND BEST OF ALL WOODWORK.
ALL THE BEST ..........................................................WAYNE.
